Technical field
The electrode group that the present invention relates to make anodal and negative pole lamination by barrier film and electrolyte seal up for safekeeping a plurality of monocells in the metal-back that has side's electrode terminal concurrently through the battery pack that being welded to connect with and manufacture method.
Background technology
In general, alkaline batterys such as nickel-hydride accumulator, ni-cd storage battery, be between positive pole and negative pole, barrier film to be arranged, after being wound into scroll, connect collector body and form electrode body in the end of negative or positive electrode, then with in this electrode body income metal battery box and will be welded on by the wire portion that collector body extends after the seal body, seal body is installed in the peristome of battery case by insulation spacer and constitutes by sealing.When being used for purposes such as electric tool or electric automobile at this alkaline battery, because demanding power output, so use the battery pack that a plurality of monocells are connected in series usually.
Such battery pack, as shown in figure 15, on the positive plate lid 82 that is provided with as positive terminal on the hush panel 81 of monocell 80b, one end of welding lead plate 85, while is on the bottom 84 of the metal shell 83 of monocell 80a, the other end of welding lead plate 85 bends to the U font by the central portion with wire guide plate 85 then, a plurality of monocell 80a and 80b are connected in series and make.
But, when a plurality of monocell 80a, the 80b discharge that the wire guide plate 85 that makes by bending to the U number of words connects because discharging current feeds by wire guide plate 85, so or wire guide plate 85 is longer, wire guide plate 85 is thinner, then the resistance drops is bigger.In this resistance drops, discharging current hour, is that all right is problem, if being used for electric tool or electric automobile etc. when big electric current feeds purposes, because the resistance drops produces the problem of operating voltage decline.
Therefore, people consider also to propose, and do not use wire guide plate, and with monocell relatively to terminal between fetch the method that connects monocell with soldering, but the little and problem that is difficult to connect reliably of the intensity with soldering portion is compared in soldering with welding.In addition, also have the soldering monocell relatively to electrode between the problem of pretty troublesome and operating efficiency difference.
Therefore, the applicant has carried out various researchs, and its result has developed and made welding current flow to battery charge direction or course of discharge and can directly weld brand-new method between the contiguous terminal of monocell.This method as shown in figure 16, a plurality of monocell 90a, 90b are put into not shown carrying cylinder being arranged in after the row, one side's welding electrode 96 is set on the monocell positive cover 92 in the top, the opposing party's welding electrode 97 is set in the bottom 94 of the metal shell 93 of the monocell of lower end.
After this, limit plus-pressure limit making alive and feed heavy current pulse between two welding electrodes 96,97.Thus, the bottom 94 of the metal shell 93 of monocell 90a is soldered with the contact site generation fusion of the positive cover 92 of monocell 90b.
Like this, because directly welding between the terminal of monocell vicinity, so the resistance drops of this welding portion has reduced and has improved the operating voltage of battery pack.
Yet, as previously mentioned, make a plurality of monocells be arranged in one row after, at its both ends a pair of welding electrode is set, the limit is to two welding electrode plus-pressure limit applied voltages and feed heavy current pulse, when the contact site welding of the bottom of the metal shell of side's monocell and the opposing party's monocell positive cover, then when plus-pressure between welding electrode, directly give positive cover with excessive plus-pressure.When positive cover is subjected to this excessive plus-pressure, problems such as positive cover is compressed, distortion.
In addition, owing in positive cover, be provided with pressure valve, therefore be compressed and when deforming, just produced the problem that this pressure valve can't operate as normal in positive cover.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the present invention proposes for addressing the above problem, and its purpose is, even provide a kind of with a plurality of monocells welding, also without detriment to the cap of interior dress pressure valve and do not produce the battery pack of the structure of failure welding.
In order to achieve the above object, battery pack of the present invention, connecting into row by a plurality of monocells forms, these monocells comprise containing establishes the anodal metal shell that wherein accompanies the battery important document of electrolyte with negative pole and have side's electrode terminal concurrently, constitute with seal body double as the opposing party electrode terminal of described metal shell insulated separation, it is characterized in that, in described monocell, has a junction spare between the bottom of the metallic casing of the seal body of adjacent side's monocell and the opposing party's monocell, described link at least respectively has a protuberance in two square ends, one side more in the inner part than the periphery of shell, described seal body has the outstanding lid that is arranged at its central portion, described link is on the position corresponding to described lid, have the peristome bigger than this lid diameter, the contact site of the opposing party's electrode terminal of described link and described side's monocell, and the contact site of the shell of described link and described the opposing party's monocell, be welded to connect at described protuberance respectively.
In ideal conditions, it is characterized in that described link is that the electric conducting material by the machine-shaping of a slice metallic plate constitutes, described protuberance is the pin that forms in the machine-shaping.
The invention is characterized in that described link has peristome in the central portion zone corresponding to described seal body and forms in the mode of surrounding described peristome, is desirable.
The invention is characterized in that described link constitutes: being welded to connect at described outer casing bottom and described shell, reaching an one of side and cover an one of described side along described outer peripheral edge portion, is desirable.
The invention is characterized in that described link reaches one one of the side and in described shell side along the circumference of described shell, is welded to connect with described shell.
That is to say, battery pack of the present invention is between the outer casing bottom of the seal body of side's monocell and the opposing party's monocell, on the position corresponding, be provided with and have than this big peristome link in lid footpath with lid, and the contact site of the seal body of this link and a side's monocell, and the contact site of the shell of this link and the opposing party's monocell is welded to connect respectively.
Like this, when the contact site of link and side's monocell seal body and link and the contact site of the outer casing bottom of the opposing party's monocell promptly become the respectively soldered structure that is connected, seal body by link one side's monocell is electrically connected with the outer casing bottom of the opposing party's monocell, and become the height of link once the collector body path of the outer casing bottom of the seal body of square monocell and the opposing party's monocell, promptly, become the length between the outer casing bottom of the seal body of side's monocell and the opposing party's monocell, therefore, can obtain reducing the resistance drops of connection, improve the battery pack of operating voltage.
In addition, the ratio lid that is provided with on the set position corresponding with lid on by seal body is the link of big peristome directly, when the seal body of one side's monocell is electrically connected with the outer casing bottom of the opposing party's monocell, being arranged on drowning on the seal body has solderedly, is not compressed and deforms and damage so do not produce lid.Thus, can obtain covering interior set safety valve work and press impregnable battery pack.
So, link constitutes by having conductive material, include its external diameter and upward or the outstanding mutually protuberance that the end is arranged in below by this baseplate part portion than the circular base board of described shell aperture portion internal diameter path, and by the outstanding protuberance in the bottom of this protuberance, like this, by by baseplate part upward or the outstanding mutually protuberance that the end is arranged in below, annular link can give elasticity between the outer casing bottom of the seal body of side's monocell and the opposing party's monocell.
Therefore, (or upward) the downwards outstanding protuberance and the weld part of side's monocell seal body can be improved, and the weld strength of the weld part of the outer casing bottom of (or downwards) outstanding protuberance and the opposing party's monocell upward, further reduce the higher battery pack of weld part resistance drops and operating voltage.In such cases, the external diameter of annular base plate is because littler than shell aperture portion internal diameter, produces the battery pack of bad welding so can obtain preventing the upper end of the shell of side's monocell from contacting with the outer casing bottom of the opposing party's monocell.
In addition, if an one of circular base board has notch, then after each monocell being arranged in a row configuration, can between each monocell, insert link, so the alignment arrangements operation of each monocell has become easily.And the shape of substrate is not limited to annular, also can be polygonal.Also have, link bends to arc or zigzag the 1st baseplate part by the periphery along shell aperture portion, the 2nd baseplate part that bends to arc or crooked shape with periphery along shell aperture portion constitutes, be at interval the 1st baseplate part and the 2nd baseplate part to be separated from each other configuration and its central part when forming peristome with the lid, the operation of insertion link promptly becomes and has been more prone between each monocell.
So when the battery pack that constitutes using such connecting portion was destroyed with fracture owing to weld part takes place certain accident, if the thickness of protuberance is thicker than the thickness of outer casing bottom, the welding portion that then might produce outer casing bottom broke and electrolyte leakage.For this reason, preferably make the thickness of protuberance and the bottom thickness of protuberance do thinly than outer casing bottom thickness.In addition, if the thickness of baseplate part is done than the thin thickness of outer casing bottom, the resistance value that then produces link rises, and therefore the problem that the output characteristic of battery pack descends is preferably done the thickness of substrate thicker than the thickness of outer casing bottom.
Also have, the annular link is more integrally formed than shell aperture portion internal diameter path annular insulating properties substrate and conducting ring by its external diameter, conducting ring in the substrate inside of substrate by this substrate upwards below during tab-like one-tenth, then pass through conducting ring, the seal body of one side's monocell is connected with the outer casing bottom of the opposing party's monocell, the current collection path becomes the height of conducting ring, the high battery pack of operating voltage so can obtain reducing connecting portion resistance drops.
In such cases, the external diameter of annular insulating properties substrate is also littler than shell aperture portion internal diameter, portion forms conducting ring within it, thereby can obtain preventing reliably that the shell upper end of side's monocell from contacting with the opposing party's monocell outer casing bottom, and then produces the battery pack of bad welding.
Also have, the annular link constitutes by having conductive material, have cylindrical portion and the annular flange portion that forms at the bottom integrated of this cylindrical portion, while is at the configuration dead ring of the peripheral part of cylindrical portion, flange part is welded on the seal body of the opposing party's monocell, when the upper end of cylindrical portion is welded on the bottom of shell of the opposing party's monocell, because the current collection path becomes the height of cylindrical portion, the high battery pack of operating voltage so can obtain reducing the resistance drops of connecting portion.
In this case, be provided with dead ring at the peripheral part of cylindrical portion, thus can obtain preventing reliably contacting of side's monocell shell upper end and the opposing party's monocell outer casing bottom, and then do not produce the battery pack of failure welding.
Also have, annular link and seal body are whole to be formed, have with the cylinder that is formed centrally by outstanding the covering of seal body, simultaneously on the peripheral part of this cylinder, dispose dead ring, the bottom of cylinder is welded on the seal body of side's monocell, and the upper end of cylinder is when being welded on the outer casing bottom of the opposing party's monocell, because the current collection path is the height of cylinder, and the high battery pack of operating voltage so can obtain reducing the resistance drops of connecting portion.
In this case, be provided with dead ring, therefore can obtain to prevent reliably that the shell upper end of side's monocell from contacting with the opposing party's monocell outer casing bottom, and then produce the battery pack of bad welding at the peripheral part of cylindrical portion.
So the manufacture method of battery pack of the present invention is to comprise: prepare a plurality of monocell operations and a plurality of monocells are arranged in an operation and a welding sequence that is listed as; The a plurality of monocell operations of described preparation, be to prepare to accommodate the battery key element of the positive pole of seizing electrolyte on both sides by the arms and negative pole formation and have the metal shell of side's electrode terminal concurrently and to a plurality of monocells of the seal body that has the opposing party's electrode terminal concurrently of described metal shell insulated separation; The described operation that is arranged in row, be between the bottom with the metal shell of the seal body of side's monocell adjacent in the described monocell and the opposing party's monocell, by at least respectively have the link contact of a protuberance more in the inner part in two square ends, one side than the periphery of shell; Described welding sequence, be to feed welding current in the described at least one side's of a plurality of monocells who forms a line the battery key element and to be welded between the described adjacent terminal, described seal body has the outstanding lid that is arranged at its central portion, described link is on the position corresponding to described lid, have the peristome bigger than this lid diameter, the contact site of the opposing party's electrode terminal of described link and described side's monocell, and the contact site of the shell of described link and described the opposing party's monocell, be welded to connect at described protuberance respectively.
